The Blue Lagoon is Malta’s most famous swimming spot, with clear turquoise waters and a soft sandy seabed that looks like something out of a postcard. During our boat tour, we anchor in the bluest part of the lagoon—away from the busy crowds—so you can enjoy the peaceful beauty of this incredible place. You’ll have time to swim, snorkel, or simply relax on the boat and take in the stunning views. It’s the perfect stop to cool off and experience why the Blue Lagoon is such a must-see.

The Crystal Lagoon is a hidden treasure tucked beside Comino, known for its deep blue waters, dramatic cliffs, and peaceful atmosphere. Only accessible by boat, it's the perfect place to anchor and enjoy a more exclusive experience. With incredible underwater visibility, it’s one of the best spots around Malta for snorkelling and swimming straight off the boat. You’ll find yourself surrounded by nature, crystal-clear water, and the kind of serenity that’s hard to come by during a busy cruise stop.

L-Għar ta’ Bla Saqaf is one of Comino’s most iconic sea caves, known for its striking open ceiling and beautiful natural light. We’ll take the boat right inside the cave for a perfect photo opportunity, a fun photo shoot, or even a quick swim in the crystal-clear water. It’s a breathtaking stop that shows off the wild beauty of Comino from a unique perspective.

Popeye Village is one of Malta’s most charming sights—a colourful film set built for the 1980 musical Popeye, now perched above a stunning turquoise bay. The village, with its quirky wooden buildings and dramatic cliffs, looks like something out of a storybook. On our way, we’ll make a short 5-minute stop in front of the bay so you can snap a few photos of this beautiful location and the unique film set nestled by the sea. It’s a quick but memorable stop that adds a fun twist to your boat tour.

Comino is a small, peaceful island between Malta and Gozo, famous for its crystal-clear waters, rugged coastline, and hidden coves. With no cars and only a handful of buildings, it’s a quiet escape that feels like another world. On our boat tour, we cruise all the way around Comino, exploring its dramatic cliffs, sea caves, and untouched beauty. We stop in the bluest, clearest waters—far from the crowds—where you can swim, snorkel, and soak up the magic of this incredible island at your own pace.

6

Cominotto is a tiny island right next to the Blue Lagoon, and it’s one of the most beautiful spots in the area. Surrounded by crystal-clear blue waters, it’s perfect for snorkelling and capturing stunning photos. The shallow, vibrant sea around Cominotto makes it feel like you’re swimming in a natural pool, with amazing visibility and colourful marine life. It’s a must-see highlight during our stop at the Blue Lagoon, offering a peaceful and unforgettable experience just a short swim or boat drift away.

Cominotto Reef is a beautiful shallow reef located near the tiny island of Cominotto, right by the famous Blue Lagoon. With clear turquoise waters and a white sandy seabed, it's an ideal spot for snorkelling. The reef is full of interesting rock formations and marine life, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced snorkellers. The calm, shallow conditions allow you to float easily while exploring the underwater scenery in a safe and peaceful setting. It’s one of the hidden gems we pass during the tour, offering a truly relaxing snorkelling experience.

8

St Agatha’s Tower, also known as the Red Tower, is a striking 17th-century fortress perched on the Marfa Ridge in Mellieħa. Overlooking Għadira Bay and with panoramic views toward Comino and Gozo, it was built by the Knights of St John to defend Malta’s northern coast. During our tour, we’ll stop for 5 minutes to admire the scenery and snap some great photos of this impressive medieval landmark.

Hondoq Bay is a hidden gem on Gozo’s southern coast, known for its crystal-clear waters, white rocks, and peaceful surroundings. It’s a favourite local spot for swimming and snorkelling. We’ll make a short 5-minute stop here to enjoy the stunning views and snap some beautiful photos of this quiet, unspoiled bay.

11

Elephant Head Rock is a unique natural formation on Comino’s rugged coastline that strikingly resembles an elephant’s head dipping into the sea. As we cruise past, you’ll have a chance to admire this fun and fascinating rock shape—perfect for a quick photo from the boat as we continue our tour.

The Santa Marija Caves are a stunning series of sea caves along Comino’s coastline, famous for their clear waters and dramatic rock formations.
